    The channel was hacked a couple of days ago and TH-cam terminated it. I've just got it back. Hackers deleted 800 videos including this one. It's back but the comments aren't. Which is sad but at least its back.

    Interesting fact: Beethoven wrote this piece to defy the ‘rules of music’ at the time and so he played the whole song with the pedal down, and only did octave notes with the left hand. He made it simple on purpose, and showed everyone that professionals can make easy pieces beautiful. Without this piece, I doubt many people nowadays would understand that playing is meant for expressing, not showing off.

      @@hauaywkos6638 I mean simple is quite a stretch. This song is made up by 3 movements, this is barely the first one. The second movement is a bit more cheery and the third one is a very complex one to play, a lot more like Beethoven's usual style.

    I worked summers at a moving company and it was hard work. We'd have a crew of 4-5 dudes of all kinds and we had the best time..probably the best time of my life. We had this one guy who didn't talk much, he'd just politely laugh at our jokes and do his work. One move we had this piano and usually we get the big heavy things first if possible. We get this thing in the house and this guy asks the people "do you mind if I play?" They said no and so he just sits down in this empty house with only a piano and a handful of people on a 110-degree day. He starts to play this song. Moving and swaying to the tune, his back brace un-velcroed and one of his boots untied. We all were frozen. Most of us weren't familiar with classical music, even the 'famous' ones. That moment was 23 years ago and to this day it's one of my fondest memories. That is the power of music.

    Every month, all day, every week, for seven years i walked the same road alone to go to school, then eight years to go to work. I've been through any musical experience imaginable, i've listened to all kinds of music as a grew up, but the song my mom loved the most is this one. Next month is my birthday, it's not just any birthday, it's the day she told me when i was a kid that would be the day i would understand what this song means, and she was right all along, because i was here listening to it, and i've realised i knew it all along.
    I remember walking up the main street in my city after musical school, it was raining, i was completely soaked, and i was listening to this song. It sounded exactly like this, it felt the same, it was the same. God, i felt so lost, without purpose, i felt like i was being dragged around like the news papers being washed down the street by the water, my experiences and my life were just being forgotten slowly by everyone, no one had bothered to ask what i've done all these years, i was a news journal washing down the drain of life, i felt like everything everyone had ever told me about hope was a lie. All the tests i've ever done, all the presentations, all the science, philosophy, math classes i've been through, it all felt so useless, i've learned all those things, and there were still so many questions in my head that i couldn't get the answer to. I got to class that day so soaked that everyone was staring at me in the reception, they asked why i went to school even though it was raining like that, and i said i didn't knew... because i didn't, and i still don't. I'm without any meaning on my back, there is no answer to the question they asked me, those are the questions not even science or philosophy could answer, and they never stopped coming. Beethoven wrote Moonlight Sonata as an improvised piece, Ludwig Rellstab atributed the first movement of the piece with his vision of moonlight shining down on a lake. Beethoven had questions he couldn't answer, so he wrote them down in hope of someone, one day, finding what they meant, and i am sorry for not being able to answer his questions, just like his question didn't answer mine.
    I have a gift for everyone that read this comment, and will read in the future.

    I awoke to the sound of someone playing the piano downstairs. It wasn't unusual for Amelia to play late at night. We'd just bought the house, and Amelia loved the piano. But there was something... off about the sound. It was detuned, unlike how it was earlier. I made my way downstairs through the dark and the quiet. When I stepped into the room, there was a little girl sitting at the piano. It wasn't Amelia. The window was partially open, and the bright moonlight shone through the window and made her glow. The song she was playing was full of anguish and it was more intense through the detuned notes. I stood in the doorway, watching her. I was frozen, unable to do anything but watch the girl play anguish in the soft moonlight.

    As the world settled around him the man played a song from before
    Before the ground shook and the air trembled
    Before the sky burned and the houses fell
    Before his family huddled under the wreckage
    Before his family died under the wreckage
    In the empty streets the piano sang, the man giving its voice
    The sound lonely and sad, unchanged over the years he played it
    Then he would play the last song his mother taught, clumsily and inconsistent but helping him forget
    Now he played it in the young forest growing from the debris of his past. The song echoing through the trees slightly taller than him reminding him of his life
    Over time animals came back and grew used to the man, they sat still as he played
    Many years had passed since the war took them away, but he remembered them through song
    As he played, he could see the ghosts of everyone dancing slow and graceful as they bobbed through the air
    His brother dancing with his wife, his mom and dad dancing together, and his sister dancing with Benjamin, their baby brother
    He could see his neighbors kids tumbling playfully in the air
    The elderly couple did their own dances close to the piano
    Many years passed and as he brought the song to an end, a single tear ran down his now tan and wrinkled face
    The ghosts applauded him cheering his performance
    Slouching in his chair the old man smiled, then he sighed, then he died.
    40 years later, “mommy, look over there!”
    “Hmm?”, mother looked ahead, “oh, a piano.”
    The mother and her daughter approached the piano, foliage grown around it and sunken into the ground. The father was trailing behind as their cart was heavy
    The mother and girl let out a sharp yelp as they came around the old instrument
    “What is it!?” Asked the father as he ran up to them, then he looked at the piano. “Oh!”
    Slouched on a weathered chair was a skeleton, propped up but the brambles and ivy climbing it
    It’s skeletal hands still resting on the yellow keys

    Midnight
    It was raining outside
    One alone in the rain
    Dancing under the moonlight
    Problems passing beside them
    Loses
    Traumas
    Drama
    Life slowly passing by
    Fate in the palm of their hand
    As the thunders echoed through the skies
    Going along with the music of the rain
    Twirling with the sound of thunder
    Cars passing by
    Befriending the beautiful sound of the water running through the streets
    Agony and pain
    Forgoten memories
    Childhood wasted
    Trying for the future
    All for what
    The one dancing alone
    Danced and danced
    So the problems would disappear
    So the void would be fild with something positive for once
    Tears that could not be seen
    The one like an angel from above
    The light lamps shining on them like they were performing on a stage for everyone to see
    But no
    Only them and their lost innocence dancing one last time
    As the thunder gave the last straw
    They bowed
    Going back into the dark
    Never to be seen again
    What was going through their mind
    What is going through your mind
    And the most important question
    That faint smile with tears falling down like a river
    Were they happy
    Are you happy?
    Felt a bit inspired by this if you are reading this I hope you and the ones you love are healthy and happy have a good life fellow wanderers take care

    Ive never heard of "detuning" a piano, but I love what it did to the sounds!

      The sustain thing is on all pianos. Any note past one of the Gs I think doesn’t have a damper, since it fades out so fast anyways it doesn’t really need one. :)

    • @00SNIVY00
      @00SNIVY00 5 ปีที่แล้ว +54

      Wouldn't "detuning" just be letting it fall out of tune? Every time a piano is played, the strings loosen ever so slightly and start to vary very slightly in pitch (when a piano is tuned, each string of a certain note is brought to the same frequency). So instead of the crisp, pure tones you'd get from the two or three strings vibrating at the same frequency, you get a slight wobble in the tone.
      It'd basically be playing a fairly old piano that hasn't been touched in a while rather than the notes being flatter than usual.

    Oh rage
    as much frightening you are
    the more i confess it
    the more i’ve felt the lie
    the lie that you are far too bad
    the wraith the anger,too sad
    but when the stars collapse
    the moon crumbles
    the sun blasts
    thats where i felt the need
    to come to rapture
    to be the vengeance
    to make them kneeled
    oh these melodies rests me not
    through silence i bleed
    and at last i shall be freed

    I have many “favorite” songs, mostly concert pieces, but this is truly my favorite song. I knew it by heart and would play it whenever I got the chance, but now it’s been almost two years since I played it and I can hardly listen to it, like I can’t really get past the first few seconds. I’ve played piano since I was 8 but a painful breakup made me not touch a keyboard for over a year, and I’m only now just starting to be able to play again. I have no idea when I’ll play this again, but there’ll have to be a damn good reason to

    I remember when I was 4, I had a toy that had plenty of buttons that plays different music but weirdly I always push the button that plays Beethoven's moonlight sonata, I was thinking deep with so much thoughts in nursery class while the other kids were playing with one another while I sat at the corner of the classroom with my toy, repeatedly playing the same button... I was going through a lot of childhood trauma even until now, yet here I am listening to this masterpiece over and over, feeling hopelessly empty yet comfortable in the darkness...~

I felt horrible loss, anguish, guilt and loneliness of what felt like many generations of people before me. I could feel the cries from their losses and remembered my own. Then I snapped back. I was just laying in my bed. It was 9am and my brother was just practicing piano. Playing this song. The amount of power and emotion one song can give is incredible and I will never forget that morning.

    A man with a talent was all alone one day, until he met a woman who he loved very much. Each day he would play a song for her, and she would sway and rejoice as she danced to his music. She smiled and laughed with the man as he kept playing, watching her listen and dance. After a few more meetings, he took his hands in hers and confessed his love, to which she accepted. He pulled her into his arms, and began to play again. Soon they had children after getting married. Years passed and they grew old together, as well as closer, and time took its toll. Their children had grown and moved on. The two had aged, but their love was still just as strong. On one rainy, Grey day the man woke up to find his lover in her rocking chair. He went over, and tried to wake her up, to no avail. He tried once more, and felt tears sting his eyes. She wouldn't wake up. Then he sat at his piano, his hands moving on their own across the keys, and played beautifully, a bittersweet song of sorrow and peace. His best work yet, as a final set off for his life-long love. And today he still sits at the same piano, him and his partner still together.
